Read up on the rules and guidelines - and spend some time with us noobs in this beginner section.

Thanks Anycoin & HeRetiK for clarifying this.
What tells the system which adress to send the block-reward to?

Hi,

when I discuss bitcoin the question about who created it often pops up.
People often seem to think that the unknown creator(s) have a backdoor where they can either create more BTC or steal from others.
The go-to argument then is that bitcoin is open source and desentralized, validated by thousands of people.

But then the last question comes... "Have YOU validated the data?" - checkmate 

So apart from learning to actual read and validata computer code - what is the best way to know that there is no hidden backdoor into Bitcoin?


Thanks!

Hi,

how does it work when a miner finds a new block and get the 12.5 btc reward? Is it one privatekey? How is it then split when you make transactions?

Hi,

do you know a good source for information on upcoming forks?
